This is interesting, but in general meaningless, as we don't have the data of what triggered the advice.

That has probably also changed over the times.

With the rise of dickheads like Tate influencing more men, and the general awareness of abuse in relationships, I can absolutely se reasons for breaking up increasing.

Wow, ok so that is how you deal with critics...

I knew it was going to be a sore point, my hope was that you was going to say something like:

Fair point, I guess I did come one a bit strong on that point...

Downvoted due to your annoying rant about about up/downvotes.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 26 points 6 hours ago

Yeah, as everyone knew would happen when the cowards began hiding their identities and acting like a secret police on amfetamins.

No, you don't understand, they specifically did not use the material for simple enjoyment, they used it to try and make money.

Obviously the author of the works should only retain profit if the end goal was simple enjoyment, but if the end goal was to make money from the original work, then naturally, the original author can go fuck themselves./

What would be fair would be if he as he is sitting on the ground a Cybertruck in summon mode careened off the road pinning him against the building not killing him instantly but slowly while the radio in the car is playing a comedy show where he and his companies are the punchlines. The last thing he hears is his legacy being laughed at as a joke

I have always found that his name was fitting...

If money was no object, I'd stay here in Sweden, and I would probably buy a farm mannor in need of renovation.

I'd have the main building carefully renovated to preserve the herritage but modernize it, I imagine the property having a stable or other large old storage barn, I'd gut as much of the interior as possible, keeping the exterior look and build a "man barn", basically make it an entire man cave, I mean a combined area for hobbies, a small LAN party corner, air rifle sooting range, full racing sim, full flight sim, electronics workbench, a separate room for dirtier hobbies like wood/metal working with separate ventilation, but with a glass wall between the areas, top floor of the barn would jave several guest rooms with a separate external access, I would also dig an underground tunnel between the mannor house and the barn, with a deep cellar for extra storage

Yeah, that is my feeling as well.

Here in Sweden we don't really have company/location specific unions, ours are sector based with national reach.

It has always confused me to hear about small unions like this.

Try comparing Trump with a scam email and you'll get why people fall for his antics.

A scam email uses bad grammar and misspellings to deter less gullible people so the scammers can focus on the gullible people instead of wasting resources on people who at best won't interact, or at worst will try to limit gullible people who are getting sucked in.

Trump does the same thing.

A scam email uses hyperbole, this to try and deny you time to think and just proceed without thinking.

Trump does the same thing.

A scam email will constantly lie.

Trump does the same thing.

A scam email will often focus on your ego, complimenting you or your circumstances.

Trump does the same thing, but less focused on a specific person.

And so on.

TL;DR:

Trump is a scam email.

 

You have a super majority in all branches of government, you don't need to consider other parties.

Where do you start, and what is your overall stratergy?

Will you get a second term?

 

This is a Planteray tasting giftbox, six bottles of different rum, five of which are dedicated to a specific bad person, for when I no longer share the planet with them, I printed ribbons on my label maker with the name of the person the bottle is dedicated to.

Interestingly, out of the five bottles I have dedicated, four of them are dedicated to a person with a "u" as the first or only vowel in their surname.

The current dedication goes out to:

Mr. Trump
Mr. Putin
Mr. Musk
Mr. Murdoch
Mr. Orbán

The fifth is as of yet undedicated, but if you have any suggestions, feel free to post them.

 

I have recently got into audiobooks, with a focus on classic sci-fi, I just finnished Rendezvous With Rama by Arthur C. Clark (narrated by Peter Gamin), which is absolutely brilliant, highly recommended, and The Time Machine by H. G. Wells (narrated by Kelsey Grammer, free on Apple Books), also brilliant, very different from the 1960s film.

Anyway do you have any tips on classic sci-fi (1870s-1990s) that I should listen to?

I use Apple Books to buy the books, I am not really interested in audiobook streaming, I want to own my books, not rent access to them.

At the moment I have several books that I need to listen to, but I want to buy more now so I have them in my library.

I have the following books in my library:

  • Rendezvous with Rama - Arthur C Clark - Narrated by Peter Gamin
  • The Invisible Man - H. G. Wells - Narrated by Alexandra Coles
  • The Time Machine - H. G. Wells - Narrated by Kelsey Grammer
  • The World Set Free - H. G. Wells - Narrated by Sebastian Blackwood
  • I, Robot - Isaac Asimov - Narrated by Scott Brick
  • Ignition, An Informal History of Liquid Rocket Propellants - John Drury Clark - Narrated by Jonathan Todd Ross

I am planning on getting 2001: A Space Oddesy and some even more Arthur C. Clark...

 

You hear them bang on and on about this cycle:

Bad times create strong men.
Strong men create good times.
Good times create weak men.
Weak men create bad times.

This is absolutely true, 100%

So the facists are right!

Too bad they confuse who the strong and weak men are...


Sorry for the rage bait title, I just wanted to joke a bit.

This is a photo of four bottles of champagne each dedicated to Trump, Putin, Musk and Orban respectively for when the world no longer has to deal with their miserable existance.

 

Taken yesterday evening.

 

We are looking at upgrading our network equipment from old HP switches and Aruba access points, we have a Fortinet firewall that we are happy with, so we'll probably keep using them there, but for the rest we are looking for new stuff.

And we are looking closely at Ubiquiti for switches and APs, but two things have appeared on our radar.

Ubiquiti does have a cloud admin UI, this means that Ubiquiti needs to have access to our network controller to access this feature.

But what if we don't use that, will Ubiquiti still be able to access the network controller?

I guess that what I am asking is how does the access control work?

Also, updates, I see that they seem to be very frequent and also see some scattered reports that they have required admins to reset their configs and loosing camera footage, can you set updates to be delayed for X days?

 

I have posted about these bottles before, they are designated to be toasted when the world is freed from the respective person.

The ribbons are printed on a labelmaker in the P-touch series from Brother, and have the following names:

  • Trump
  • Putin
  • Orban
  • Musk

In these shit times this is my little protest against terrible people.

 
 

Earlier today, I saw the post about cow eggs, and just realized that most people don't know that tractors also hatches from eggs, you see these every summer on farmers fields but most people don't realize that this is an integral part of the lifecycle of a tractor.

Tractors lay a lot of eggs in captivity, but few survive to hatch a new tractor, most tractors you see come from the wild tractor populations around the world, this is also why no one has ever been able to take a photo of a tractor hatching from is soft shell.

I posted last week about building a NAS, and on friday I saw that the Jonsbo N4 case I had been eyeing for a while was in stock at a good price.

So now I am looking for a motherboard to base my system on, which seems to be a bit difficult.

I need an mATX or ITX board that can handle six SATA drives and also have an NVME slot for a boot drive.

Performance, I value power efficiency more than super high performance, and am on the fence between Open Media Vault or TrueNAS, I like the familiarity of Linux, but I do value the features of ZFS.

If I end up on TrueNAS I may run a VM in the hypervisor from time to time, mostly just for testing.

The NAS will not be an HTPC, but will serve media through SMB and possibly NFS later.

Cooling could be a bit of an issue as the case does not have a lot of space for a cooler
